By Eddie Ash GRIFFITH WARNS HIS PITCHERS a m a WEIGHT CLAUSE IN CONTRACTS
QWNER CLARK GRIFFITH of the Washington Senators is going to demand that his pitchers do more pitching and less eating. He’s announced that a weight clause is to be added to the 1936 contracts of two hurlers, Bump Hadley and Ec Linkc, and has warned the twirlers they will be cut in pay whenever their poundage goes above stipulated figures. The deadline on Hadley has been set at 190 and Linke’s at 195. Griffith’s mound staff went to pieces last season and he has been unable to obtain new material of quality. For this reason the 1935 staff will be held intact and the pressure applied. Earl Whitehlll is another hurler due tor some checking up. He has been advised to take preliminary training before the spring workouts start. Earl was the Senators’ best pitcher in 1935, but let himself grow soft and fatigue collected its toll ift some important games. Griffith used to be a star flipper and he lasted a long time in the majors. He was slender when he broke in and was still slender when his throwing arm finally wilted. He has seen many good players eat their way out of the big leagues, the over-eating naturally leading the athletes to shirk a hard training routine.

MR. ANNIE OAKLEY Aspiring Marksman Joins Rifle Club and Hits All Targets but His Own.
BY TAUL (OLD EAGLE EYE) BOXELL THE boys get up a rifle club and want me to be a charter member, but I back down because I do not like to be wandering around in a room where bullets are flying hitherthither and yon. This is not cowardice, I insist; it is just safe and sane observance of the law of self-preservation. I know that metal poisons me whether it be in spinach or a copper shell, and I do not intend to take a chance.
Besides, I hear that women are going to belong, and a lady with a gun in her hand does not suggest a peaceful evening to me. Women are not cut out to be gun toters, I claim, and I won’t argue about Annie Oakley because she is the exception to the rule. The boys keep hounding me but I remain firm until I read a newspaper headline which says: “Unknown Men Rifle Safe, Take Two Hundred Dollars.’’ What # kind of a shooting sport is this, I ask myself, which pays such a rich prize lor merely hitting a big safe? My curiosity overwhelms me and I decide it is worthwhile to risk my neck for two hundred dollars. tt tt SO I have my wool shirt doublestarched and go to the second meeting of The Times Rifle Club in the basement range of the Sportsman's store. Henry Keeler, who handles firearms like they are table utensils, offers to be my teacher. “Draw your bead directly below ihe middle of the target between the arc of the sight,” Henry says. “Hold your left or supporting arm perfectly steady and be sure your bead is drawn before you pull the trigger, if that is clear, we will proceed.” "Shoot,” I say. Then I see my mistake. "On second thought, don't shoot,” i add quickly. “Just proceed.” He hands me a shiny new rifle. “All right, see what you can do,” he says. I through the sight, get my bead on the target and pull the trigger. Nothing happens. "Perhaps you should load first.” smiles Mr. Keeler. “Here, put a shell in the breech.” He opens up the handle of the gun. buries a ■sueli. and pulls back a little gadget *aich cocks the thing. * n THE targets are 75 feet from the shooting line, and hitched on clothesline rope contraptions which are on pulleys so you can pull the btills-eye sheet back to you after you have fired away. Five small, black round targets are on each sheet. Each target is composed of circles; you get 10 points for hitting the tiny circle in the center, and less for getting in other circles ranging out to the edge of the black. One shooter is assigned to each of the five targets, and when all five havt, blazed away, the sheet is pulled back to see who hit how much in nis own black circle. m • h FOR my first competitive test 1 am given the upper left-hand target on a sheet with O'Haver, Hall. Sheehan, Mrs. Lang and Mrs. Haverstick. I am first up. so I toe the line, draw a bead, and very painstakingly pound out my ten shots. I keep a close bead on the target and I think I must be doing a pretty good Job. They decide to pull baca the sheet before any one else shoots, Just to see how I am getting along. Back come* the sheet. There are two holes in Hall’s target, three in Sheehan's, four in Mrs. Lang's, and

one can’t be found. The upper lefthand spot isn’t even wrinkled. O’Haver, Fall, Sheehan and the two ladies glare at me and frown. They say nothing, but they look plenty. I get red, and wish I might be back in the Paddle Club playing ping pong. a a a BUT just to be obstinate I stick around and meander back among the other contestants. I sec a woman peering down the barrel of her gun. “What’s the matter?” I ask. “I pulled the trigger on this thing three times,” she whines, “and that contrary bullet just won’t come out. Here, can you see what is holding it down there?” And she shoves the nozzle right up under my nose! I decide there are easier ways to earn two hundred dollars, and depart immediately.

“Have one on the house.” The Bam draws it from portable spigot in his apartment.
BY HARRY GRAYSON Sport* Editor, NEA Service NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—Baseball no longer wants George Herman Ruth, but George Herman Ruth wants baseball, so he's headin’ South to sit on the sidelines for the first time in 23 years. The more you think of it, the stranger it seems that baseball denies a place to Ruth, the man who did more for it than any other individual. Ruth's proudest possession is an original of a cartoon drawn while his mighty bat was making the public forget the Black Sox unpleasantness of 1919 and ’2O. It depicts the sunshine of the Babe’s brilliance and honesty dispelling the black cloud that enshrouded the game following the Chicago scandal. It hangs with many other mementos of the old home run king’s remarkable career in the den of his magnificent 14room apartment overlooking Grant’s Tomb and the Hudson. Ruth points to it, and says; “Baseball owners are a forgetful lot.” tt # n Felt Entitled To It THERE is no real bitterness in Ruth’s heart. Babe was keenly disappointed at being unable to land a managerial appointment. The Bam rightfully felt that he was entitled to the opportunity. Col. Jacob Ruppert placed Bob Shawkey at the helm of the Yankees, yet refused the man who made possible the erection of the tremendous Yankee Stadium the same chance. Ruth asserts that the Yankees quit him, and that it was not a case of his quitting the Yankees when he made the mistake of going to the Boston Braves last spring. a a a Makes Surprise Move COLONEL RUPPERT paid Ruth $35,000 in 1934, after which the daddy of all long distance hitters agreed that his spindly legs could no longer carry his huge body through regular assignments. During the World Series that fall, Babe announced that it was a pilot’s position or nothing in 1935, but practically everybody suspected he would remain with the outfit he made as a sort of show window. There was genuine surprise therefore when Ruth signed a three-year parchment with the Boston Braves at $25,000. Babe’s ambition to be an executive was satisfied when he was made a vice president. “The fact that I accepted SIO,OOO less from Judge Emil Fuchs is evidence of my willingness to stand a cut by the Yankees,” explains the Bam. “I had good reason to believe that I would not be offered a contract.” Yankees ‘His’ Club RUTH left one erf the wealthiest organizations in the business for a broken outfit, and again was disappointed. But he is the type that gets over disappointments. “Baseball’s all right,” he laughs. “It's the owners in it.” Ruth still regards the Yankees as his ball club. And he’s going to St. Petersburg, where he oiled up the most potent swing in the annals of the sport each spring since he joined the Yankees 17 years ago. “I’m going to fish, golf, park myself on those green benches with the rest of the old folks, and watch the Yankees and Braves,” declares Babe. ; Everybody is more excited about what Ruth is going to do than the Bam himself. Ruth is the leastworried unemployed man in America, and why shouldn’t he be? a a a Rejects Many “Offers BABE, with his happy family around him, is worth $500,000, practically all of which is tied up in annuities. Babe earned a million in baseball salaries alone, not to mention the by-products. The annuities make it possible for him to live like an imperial potentate, which he does. Royalties on wearing apparel and whatnot, broadcasts, and writings bring in handsome returns. The English want him to teach baseball over there, and he has a similar offer from Japan. He can open a case or store on other people’s money whenever he cares to. He rejects one proposition after another to go on tour For the time being he has put everything off until 1937. m “Yes, I’d still like to manage a major league ball club, but baseball seems to have made up its mind that it can get along without me,” says Ruth. "So I guess 111 have to struggle along without baseball.”

United Press poll today. Second place, with 59 votes, went to Lawson Little, San Francisco golfer, who won the American and British amateur titles for the second successive year—a feat no other man has performed. Editors voting for the burly Californian, who was awarded the Sullivan trophy the otjier day for being 1935’s outstanding amateur athlete, backed their nom.nation by saying Little had proven his championship caliber in one of the toughest of all sports. Louis, they said, whipped a bunch of secondrate fighters and still has to meet a formidable opponent. Jesse Owens, Ohio State’s “one man track team.” received third place with 12 votes—all for his amazing feat last summer in breaking three records and tying another on one afternoon. Allison Nearly Forgotten To little Mary Hoerger, 11-year-old Florida diver, went fourth place with six votes. Mary, a wisp of a blond, amazed the aquatic world last summer by capturing the national outdoor springboard diving title from Dorothy Poynton, an Olympic champion. A surprising finisher was Wilmer Allison, who upset Fred Perry nf England in the American tennis championships. Allison received only five votes for a feat which, at the time it happened, had caused the red-necked Texan to be hailed as the 1935 “man of destiny.” But he was forgotten as Louis and Little smashed to even greater triumphs later in the year. Another surprise was that Jimmy Braddock, who scored one of 1935 s greatest upsets when he whipped Max Baer for the heavyweight title, did not receive a vote.
